UMW Eagles in Recovery

Eagles in Recovery is UMW’s Collegiate Recovery Program which works to ensure that students do not have to choose between their recovery and their education. We support students through their journey here at UMW with meetings, organized events and trips, and provide a safe space for recovery meetings and peer support.

Eagles in Recovery is available to all students who need assistance with their recovery. We can also help students who are looking for ways to get help with their active addiction and can put you in touch with those who can help.

Collegiate Recovery Programs are structured supports for students in recovery from substance use disorders who are seeking a degree in higher education. To connect with someone in Eagles in Recovery, or if you have any questions, please contact one of the following people:
